Chickpea Cookies

Home » Vegan Food » Recipes » Chickpea Cookies

I’ve been enjoying making these lately since I love using chickpeas. And I’ve been experimenting with different flours.

So far my favorite flours have been dark rye or whole wheat. One time I used almond flour and they were just too mushy. But I think it would be fun to experiment with a combination of almond to one of the others to see if maybe there’s a magical ratio for the just right gooey level cookie. But the base recipe is good enough for a quick cookie fix. One time I accidentally used vital wheat gluten, that was just too weird. I’m still trying to chew through that batch to this day.

INSTRUCTIONS

So basically you need a food processor and a large mixing bowl. In a food processor add:

  1. One can of chickpeas
  2. Half a cup of maple syrup
  3. Half a cup of
  4. 1/4 cup of applesauce or blended apple with a little lemon juice

While that blends for a couple of minutes get the mixing bowl ready with the dry ingredients:

  1. A cup and a half of whole wheat flour or dark rye, flour of choice, or all-purpose.
  2. Two teaspoons of baking powder
  3. Few dashes of salt
  4. Maybe some cinnamon, cardamom, clove, or whatever other flavor you want to get in the mix

Now I mix the wet and dry ingredients and fold in at least 3/4 cup chocolate chips.

Place clumps of cookie dough on cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make at 375 for 13 minutes.
